One man's dreams are answered with troubling realities in this downbeat drama from expatriate American filmmaker and activist Robert Kramer. Ben, a man from an unnamed Middle Eastern nation, left his homeland in his youth and went to France in hopes of making a better life for himself. Hardly finding immediate success or an open welcome in his new land, Ben found himself working a series of menial, back-breaking jobs, while trying to send as much money as he could to his family at home. In time, he saved enough to open his own business, and rose to a modest level of success as he watched over his fruit market, got married, and started a family. But Ben's small success is built on shaky ground. When he gets word that his mother has fallen into difficult circumstances, he goes home to visit her. Upon his return, he discovers that his business has collapsed in his absence, and his wife has left him; fate becomes even more cruel when an accident robs him of his sight. Cites de la Plaine was the final feature from Robert Kramer; the film debuted at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, several months after Kramer passed on while completing the final edit.

At 17:00 every day, Andrew, a middle-aged man, drives home from work through Melbourne’s outer suburbs in peak-hour traffic. Occasionally, he offers a lift home to a younger colleague, David. Over a year, their tentative small talk gives way to a warm friendship and open conversation within the confines of the vehicle, incrementally revealing their lives. One may wonder what a three-hour film, set almost entirely in a car and shot with a fixed camera from the back, can deliver? The answer is an unexpectedly engaging and entertaining observation of the rhythms of daily life, and a catalogue of suburban worries. In sensorial terms, The Plains charts the passage of time as the seasons change. The pitter-patter of rain and the familiar cocoon of the car provide a sense of comfort and safety from the outside elements. The car is the liminal space between work and home, as the day is pondered, the night planned. Documentary elements exist beyond the windscreen, as a fiction courses through the vehicle. The Plains is a road movie unlike anything you have seen before.

A troubled man runs away to Mexico and is recruited to join a paramilitary group of teens fighting the drug cartels. He proves himself to the group, but questions their motive.
